DIRECTIONS

Add oil to medium size pot, fry onion until soft.
Add chopped tomato, carrot, tomato paste and garlic and stir until a bit soft, about 8 minutes or so on low heat.
Add dry spices to bring out their flavors and aroma.
Add rice and lentils, cover with water just a bit over the rice, approximately 2-1/2 cups or so, bring to boil, cover and simmer for approximately 40 minutes checking periodically to see if tender.
NOTE: The lentils may seem a bit tough even after cooking, but leave covered for about 15 minutes and before serving they will be fine.
Great next to chicken or a great vegetarian meal all by itself!
